All kinds of things! I work with AI every day to do various kinds of work. Coding. Research. Brainstorming. I write up notes nearly every day and then I post a summary of each week on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/cw/aiconfessions

One of the projects that features in these notes is the attempt to build a programming language using AI. https://github.com/xvandervort/graphoid

Since I left my last job, I do a lot of writing. I also have a couple substacks. One is a humorous weekly look at science and tech (https://technoscreed.substack.com/ ) and the other is a monthly exploration of history (https://historyroad.substack.com/)

https://kavla.dev/ It's an infinite canvas that runs SQL. I've been working with data my entire career. I feel like we need to alt+tab so much. What if we just put it all on a canvas? Currently very WIP, but there's a simple titanic demo available! Built with tldraw and duckdb wasm, running on cloudflare durable objects

as someone who loves sql and wants to transition into a DBA specialty from being more frontend, I am very inspired by this

After 15+ years in web development — now diving into game development with Three.js / React Three Fiber (R3F). Keeping AI usage minimal where possible, but it’s been invaluable for complex geometry and math-heavy problems. Game idea: DroneCraft is a third-person drone exploration game where players scout the world for parts, craft powerful upgrades, and trade strategically to evolve their build. Whats coming: Core me…

Hey I really like this idea, I wish you good luck, looking forward to it!

it's so useful, specially to teach SQL, congrats, keep doing it!

I've just started a new personal project, a C++20 library for running composable visitors over data documents and data models with JSON/CBOR semantics, DOM-less.

Basically, if you define a data model with bindings, you can inject data into it or extract data from it by running SAX-style visitors. You can use serializers/deserializers for standard formats like JSON/BSON/CBOR/CSV, or you can define custom formats for formating structured data however you want to. You can also run a serializer visitor on a deserializer to convert between formats. You can compose filter visitors to extract a subtree or filter out keys. And it's designed to fit on microcontrollers with very limited dynamic memory allocations, because it either streams data on-the-fly or works directly with the underlying data format in a big preallocated buffer.

I worked with libraries that offered a subset of these features before in my professional career (even built one myself), but recently I've had an epiphany (a document can also be used as a data model) that makes me think I can create something elegant and unique.

https://grandpacad.com/ Dimensionally accurate AI 3D modelling. My grandpa has a 3D printer but struggles to use any complex tools. So I am working on this chat interface to allow him to do some simple models. So far he has triggered more than 150 generations. It’s getting better every model cycle and gives me something I enjoy working on.

Really cool! I tried to make this part I've been wanting but I think forcing myself to clearly describe it made me realize there is a simpler way.
